Books like Still River by Hal Clement


'The legendary grandmaster'' Locus A riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma... Enigma 88, a tiny planet in the orbit of Arc, is a world with so little mass that it should have no atmosphere. But it does - and to find out why is the final study assignment that will earn five students, each the best of their species, their prestigious Respected Opinion degrees. But from the moment they arrive on Enigma, none of their careful calculations seem to fit; on the surface, the riddle seems insoluble. And when one of their wind robots disappears under the surface, closely followed by the Human, Molly, they find the mystery is indeed inside Enigma. For the vast subterranean network of caves and tunnels Molly tumbles into supports a rich profusion of life - life that can't possibly exist...
